Kiehl’s is adventuring into scents! This July, the brand has decided to take a different type of summer vacation, with the introduction of its new Aromatic Blends Collection. And in order to do it the Kiehl’s way, they travelled across the world to find the best of the best ingredients in all products.
For this new collection, Kiehl’s selected four exotic locales—Provence, Morocco, Uganda, and Japan—and made four new scents that take a journey to each. Stuck at home this summer? Simply select the destination of your choice and welcome the magical expedition, with the help of your imagination and Kiehl’s carefully crafted collection.
From Provence comes a type of fig leaf unique to the French region. In order to capture Provence in a fragrance, Kiehl’s used a perfumer who grew up there. The result: Fig Leaf & Sage, the French countryside bottled.
The bitter-orange tree, native to Morocco, inspired the Orange Flower & Lychee scent, reminiscent of a warm Moroccan garden.
Uganda is represented by the sensual Vanilla & Cedarwood, smoky and raw and sourced directly from a special Ugandan community that produces a natural vanilla. Kiehl’s suppliers gave back to the community by helping to create drinkable water, fair-trade pricing, and a banking system.
And, finally, from the delicate pear-tree Nashi blossoms of the traditional Japanese garden emerged the fourth and final scent in the collection, Nashi Blossom & Pink Grapefruit.
In creating this unique, fragrant compilation, Kiehl’s offers a voyage around the world through luxurious bath goods. The best part is that each scent comes in a Fragrance, a Skin-Softening Body Lotion, and a Skin-Softening Body Cleanser. You can get all three of your favorite scent—or a sampling, if you’re feeling more adventurous. Here atV.F. Beauty, we couldn’t pick just one favorite, so I might just visit Morocco in the morning and Japan later that night. Jet lag not included!
